SYSTEM COMPONENTS

X-M AC radiographic system (Figure 1) consists of:
®
IND
1. X-M TIMER

IND
The timer is the control panel used to manage the times and to safely use the tubehead.
To take the exposure the control button is equipped with a safety button.
The timer can be connected to two tubeheads.
The timer is a "multi-technological" type and it is able to control tubeheads of different technologies: alternating current
X-M AC and direct current X-M
®
IND
In the case of alternating current tubeheads the timer technology is "self-compensating".
Depending on the line voltage fl uctuation the microprocessor automatically modifi es the predetermined exposure time
guaranteeing a constant dose to the patient.
This technological feature avoids the repetition of exposures due to over/under exposure errors.
2. PANTOGRAPH
Thanks to the new shape and new mechanisms of the positioning arm, it can be adjusted in height and depth so as to
precisely explore any spot in its reach.
It is made of light alloy with an ABS coating.
3. X-M TUBEHEAD
®
IND
The X-M AC intra-oral tubehead is a monoblock type and is made in a light alloy housing.
®
IND
The high voltage transformer, the x-ray tube and the expansion chamber are submerged in highly dielectric oil.
The expansion chamber guarantees an adequate compensation to oil expansion for the entire temperature range.
The x-ray tube is located in the back part of the container, allowing a source-skin distance 50% higher than traditional
structures.
4. CONE
Made of the transparent polycarbonate, it allows for:
• Correct focal spot to skin distance
• Dimension, direction and centering of x-ray beam
• Realization of different radiographic technique (bisecting and parallel technique).
